Shop at Trillium this weekend! A portion of proceeds from all full-priced sales today through Tuesday will be donated to Living Classrooms Foundation. {Love when you can shop AND give!}

Speaking of Tuesday, did you know December 1st is Giving Tuesday? It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. {Pictured is The HALO Foundation encouraging donors to donate the cost of their morning coffee to helping youth around the world.}

Cross those gifts off your list!}
